Seems that Jupiter was a part of Kresges back then to compete with TG&Ys five and dime. They had a store across the river in Kc Kansas around 7th street if my memory is correct.

Also shows what would become KMart. Went there as a kid along with Jones store and Woolworths, stopping at the topsies for an ice cream cone or corn balls on 12th street .
Main st. between 11th and 12th was my hangout.

Watched the boys on tv in Tucson today. They look good. Hoping they have a great upcoming home stand.
Didn't recognize the stadium as Mercy. Thought they where in Portland but was wrong.

Building was demolished today. Goodbye old friend. I knew you as The jewelry factory as a kid, I found alot of cool trinkets in the dumpster. This was earley 1970s https://www.google.com/maps/place/1650+Broadway+Blvd,+Kansas+City,+MO+64108/@39.0936398,-94.5886793,3a,75y,260.3h,87.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!...

If the Plaza was to add some apartments on this site or elsewhere, I would really love it if they would look to Spain for inspiration. Barcelona had blocks and blocks of handsome apartment houses. It was very common for the apartments to have French doors and balconies in every room. Many of the ex...

My old neighborhood. I'll be watching this one.There used to be apartments in that area I had friends from Ben Franklin Elementery that lived there. Hope they don't take the mexican restaurant just north of 17th street.

What hotel downtown? And where are you renting a car? Interesting choice to not rent car from airport.

Wouldn't it be the same procedure as the cool table?

Is the graphic from skyscrapers still around? Skyscrapers.com was the beginning of my journey to the KcRag. Would study that banner of all the buildings in Kc for hours. Triggered my observation for all things Kc. The opening of the 1901 time capsule brought me back to the home town in 2001. That wa...

Some power hungry cat from KC with alot on his plate would be my guess.

City of Fountains park with some great fountains that are needed in this area and giving World Cup visitors a good feeling about Downtown Kansas City! Fountains,Bbq and jazz is what we're about.

You read my mind about BBQ. Add some Jazz and it's really Kansas City.

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot...

Is there something in the traffic impact study that's a problem?

Can't wait for this. Should be fun following this Trump the Chump trail of Illigal doings.

What's distracting the Chiefs? They're so much better then they are playing. Finding it hard to watch lately. Is Mahomes making to many subway and insurance commercials? Guess you can include head coach also. Play calling and players discipline is off. New stadium talk got them worried? Never seen a...

What area did you grow up in and what high school did you go to?

Wow, didn't intend on setting everyone off. Historic was brought up and I was just curious as to the Kc Live P&L district fitting into this reference. The new builds downtown are what the new generation has to become historic in the future. Times change and maybe metel studs and sheetrock can be...

What is the purpose of Live at P&L? Generic drinking and gathering place. Can't see any historical anything happening there. And how many residence have the 2 light buildings brought downtown? No improvement in street activity. Do they just hang out in their apartments playing video games and ne...

So no one went at American Royal? Did all the local joints have any set up there. You'd think they would have an advantage in the competition. AB hooked me on white bread with their great sandwiches. Tried Gates and others but nothing was as smoky as AB.
